call_usermodehelper_exec_sync() does fork() + wait() with "unignored" SIGCHLD. What we have missed is that this worker thread can have other children previously forked by call_usermodehelper_exec_work() without UMH_WAIT_PROC. If such a child exits in between it becomes a zombie because auto-reaping only works if SIGCHLD is ignored, and nobody can reap it (unless/until this worker thread exits too). Change the !UMH_WAIT_PROC case to use CLONE_PARENT. Note: this is only first step. All PF_KTHREAD tasks, even created by kernel_thread() should have ->parent == kthreadd by default. Fixes: bb304a5c ("kmod: handle UMH_WAIT_PROC from system unbound workqueue") Signed-off-by:
